ETA: People are commenting that tyrod was out of the pocket and this was a legal play, I'd have to see the entire field view to agree or disagree.


So if the QB is outside of the pocket every defender can tackle all the receivers with no penalty?

I don't know the exact rule, but I think an actual tackle would be a form of holding or something along those lines.

But they can make contact with the WR, yes as long as the ball isn't in the air, then PI comes into play.

Can't tackle, but can hit.

The rulebook states: If the quarterback leaves the pocket area with the ball in his possession, the restrictions on illegal contact and an illegal cut block both end, but the restriction on defensive holding remains in effect.
